| 3 | [http://ipw2200.sourceforge.net/ IPW2200] is a Linux kernel driver for Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200/2915 Network Adaptors. The Wiki pages create here are used to store extensive knowledge about IPW2200 driver and new feature developments for WINLAB developers.The [http://ipw2200.sourceforge.net/ official IPW2200 website] has very limited useful information for new developments. |
| 4 | This is a good starting point to learn, share and practise new implementations which could enhance MAC, PHY/Radio and other cross-layer wireless research projects of WINLAB. |

| 6 | == Currently Supported Per Packet Statistics by the IPW2200 Driver == |
| 7 | The following are the per packet statistics supported by intel IPW2200 driver. |
| 8 | |
| 9 | * Transmit Power : The send side transmit power is appended as a send side parameter by the IPW2200 driver and is obtained by libmac as a send side parameter on the received frames. |
| 10 | * RSSI : RSSI is provided on a per packet basis by the IPW2200 driver. Libmac provides an interface to this parameter on a per packet basis as an appended parameter to each of the frames on the receive side. |
| 11 | * Noise : Noise value as provided by the hardware is reported by the driver on a per packet basis. |
| 12 | * Current Transmit Rate : The current transmit rate is provided as a receive side appended parameter on a per packet basis. |
| 13 | * Timestamp : A 64 bit timestamp value for the received frames is provided on a per packet basis by the IPW2200 driver. |
